Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo starts with 178.1 FPS on Low, drops to 134.8 on Medium, 114.6 on High, and bottoms out at 90.1 on Ultra. This represents a 49.4% reduction in frame rate from Low to Ultra, showing that the Ultra preset imposes a significant load on the GPU. Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers are 113.8 (Low), 86.2 (Medium), 73 (High), and 58.7 (Ultra). The drop from 1080p to 1440p at each setting is substantial: Low loses 64.3 FPS, Medium loses 48.6 FPS, High loses 41.6 FPS, and Ultra loses 31.4 FPS. At 3840x2160, the performance falls further to 62.9 (Low), 48 (Medium), 41.4 (High), and 30.7 (Ultra). The gap between Low and Ultra widens to 32.2 FPS at 4K. Notably, the data shows that the High preset at 1440p (73 FPS) performs nearly identically to the Ultra preset at 1080p (90.1 FPS), with a 17.1 FPS difference, suggesting that resolution scaling has a larger impact than the quality preset. The average FPS at 1080p across all settings is 129.4, while at 1440p it is 82.9, and at 4K it is 45.75, demonstrating a linear decline with increasing pixel count.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with a Navi 23 chip, fabricated on a 7 nm process by TSMC. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 280.3 GB/s. The card’s base clock is 2055 MHz, with a boost clock of 2635 MHz and a game clock of 2410 MHz. These clocks are directly relevant to the measured FPS: the high boost clock allows the GPU to maintain performance in lighter scenes, while the 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the game’s textures at 1080p and 1440p, though the 30.7 FPS result at 4K Ultra suggests that memory bandwidth becomes a limitation. The GPU’s 2048 shading units and 64 ROPs contribute to a pixel rate of 168.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 337.3 GTexel/s. The card’s FP32 performance of 10.79 TFLOPS is a strong indicator of its compute capability, which aligns with its 72nd percentile rank among all GPUs. The data shows that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions: the transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces average FPS by 36%, and from 1440p to 4K by another 45%. This is consistent with the card’s memory interface and bandwidth, which, while capable for 1080p and 1440p, struggle to feed the pixel throughput required at 4K. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 29024 places it just ahead of the RX 470 (0.1%) and behind the Arc A370M (0.5%), indicating that its performance is well-characterized within its segment.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is a Zen 3 (Cezanne) processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, running at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It has a 65 W TDP and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus, offering a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The CPU’s cache hierarchy includes 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. These specifications are crucial for gaming performance, as the high boost clock and 16 threads provide ample headroom for the game’s engine. The CPU’s benchmark scores reinforce this: its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 20755 and single-core is 2930, while its Geekbench multicore score is 8970 and single-core is 2016. The 3DMark scores show scaling from 899 (single-thread) to 6629 (16-thread), indicating that the processor can utilize all its cores effectively when needed. In the context of the measured FPS, the CPU’s role is most evident at 1080p with Low settings, where the 178.1 FPS result suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU efficiently. However, at higher resolutions, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, as evidenced by the diminishing FPS returns. The CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 25626, places it just 0.3% behind the Ryzen 7 6800U and 0.4% ahead of the Xeon D-2752TER. This indicates that the 5700G is a strong gaming CPU, but its integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics are irrelevant here since the discrete RX 6650 XT handles rendering. The memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s is adequate for the game’s demands, and the 16 MB L3 cache helps maintain consistent frame times, particularly in the 73 FPS result at 1440p High, which shows no signs of CPU stutter.
